Hunter Biden subpoena seeks information on Ukraine gas company Burisma, other entities
- Hunter Biden confirmed on December 9 that his taxes are under federal investigation
- His ties to Burisma in particular have long dogged the policy work and political aspirations of his father, President-elect Joe Biden
The breadth of the subpoena, issued on December 8, underscores the wide-angle lens prosecutors are taking as they examine the younger Biden’s finances and international business ventures.
Hunter Biden’s ties to Burisma in particular have long dogged the policy work and political aspirations of his father. It is unclear whether his work at the Ukrainian company is a central part of the federal investigation or whether prosecutors are simply seeking information about all his sources of income in recent years.
The person was not authorised to discuss an ongoing investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
A lawyer for the younger Biden, George Mesires, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment for this story and a spokesman for the Biden transition team declined to comment.
